Hi guys,
I'm a newbe. Just joined. found the site while searching for an online manual.
Joined up.
Then couldn't download the manual ! ! !
Spotted the 25 posts rule ! ! !
Never mind. It's cool with me.
We'll get there.

I've just graduated from a terrano to a safari.
Can anyone tell me the difference between a safari and a patrol??? Is there any???

g'day mate and welcome aboard............... the main difference is the electrical system, I believe Safari's run off 24V and Patrols off 12V. Here in Aus Safari's are generally Japanese imports........

Gday Dave welcome aboard gotta friendly mob here full of great info and advice. As Clunk said i think safaris are 24v, but i thought they were also the "high" roof version.....trust me ive beeen known to be wrong before

[Clunk]

I think you can get high roof in both safari and patrol but much rarer in patrol guise................... XLR8's high top was a Patrol.......................... there's also a few difference in specs, as in the fruit they come with but I couldn't tell you what they were

Yeah, Hi Roof Patrol Wagons were available in Aus for just shy of 2 years as Series 1 GQ Ti's. Had a lot of fruit on 'em incl sunroof etc. Hi roof Patrols discontinued in '91 ish.

Safari's are around in both 12 and 24 Volt versions but in Aus the majority of Hi Roofs seem to be Safari's and the majority of Safari's seem to be 24 Volt

Yeah I saw a "low" roof safari at my local supermarket just the other day. Looked just like a GQ.
